Vitenparken is a science centre committed to facilitating and improving the dialogue between the bioscience research community and the general public. The centre contains an exhibit hall, cafe, dairy museum and meeting facilities set within the Campus Ås grounds of the Norwegian University of Life Sciences. As well as the science centre these grounds are home to over a 1000 scientists, a university with eight departments and 4500 students, and a number of parks.

Formerly the Norwegian Agriculture Museum, Vitenparken commissioned design studio Bielke&Yang to help them transition from museum to science centre through the creation of a new brand identity that included naming, logo, print and website design. By appropriating the practical aesthetic of science (sans-serif typography, black ink and white paper), and juxtaposing this alongside the bright contemporary energy of MVM‘s illustrative work, Bielke&Yang’s solution establishes a common yet compelling scientific accessibility.

Tregde Ferie is a holiday resort, located at the southern tip of Norway near the town of Mandal, that is seen as the destination to experience the different aspects of costal life including sea fishing, swimming and sailing. Oslo based design studio Neue recently developed a brand identity for the resort that, through a simple but well rendered icon set, a contemporary mix of bright and pastel hues, tinted photography and full screen images online, manages to distill a multitude of experiences and services, their accessibility and relationship with the landscape, into a cohesive and familiar system.

Cerovski is a young Croatian print production studio that revels in the challenge of “nebulous finishing, microscopic editions, absurd materials and crazy deadlines”. Bunch worked with Cerovski to develop a new brand identity for the studio—which included a custom logotype and typeface, website, and a variety of printed collateral—that delivers a distinctive contrast of utility and creative flourish, technology and individualised service through custom typography, a number of material choices and print finishes, and a personalised but digitally generated daily planner.
